The Symphonies by Arvo Pärt: National Forum of Music
О событии
Indulge in the elegantly trasparent textures of the four symphonies by Arvo Pärt at his most classical.
Acclaimed conductor Tõnu Kaljuste leads the NFM Wrocław Philharmonic in Pärt's four symphonies and his 'Swan Song' in the Main Hall of the National Forum of Music in Wroclaw.
Arvo Pärt was born in Paide, Estonia, in 1953. He studied at the Tallinn Conservatory and later worked as a sound engineer at Estonia Radio while composing music for film and theatre. His early concert music experimented with neo‐classicism and avant‐garde styles, which in 1962 begot censure from the Soviet Composers Union. Six years later, his work Credo was banned after its premiere for professing the Christian faith. During the 1970s, Pärt developed a new style influenced by early polyphony, which he called “tintinnabuli,” entailing one voice moving in a stepwise manner around a given pitch and another sounding a bell‐like triad.
